: 5 pounds all-purpose flour
: 5 ounces baking powder
: 2 tablespoons salt
: 1 1/4 pounds shortening --
: hydrogenated
: 1 3/4 quarts milk
:
: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in
: mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until blended,
: approximately 10 seconds, using flat beater.
:
: Add shortening to flour mixture. Mix on low
: speed for 1 minute. Stop and scrape sides
: and bottom of bowl. Mix 1 minute longer. The
: mixture will be crumbly.
:
: Add milk. Mix on low speed to form a soft
: dough, about 30 seconds. Do not overmix.
: Dough should be as soft as can be handled.
:
: Place one-half of dough on lightly floured
: board or table. Knead lightly 15-20 times.
:
: Roll to 3/4-inch thickness. Biscuits will
: approximately double in height during
: baking. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch (or 2-inch)
: cutter; or cut into 2- inch squares with a
: knife. When using round hand cutters, cut
: straight down and do not twist to produce
: the best shape. Space the cuts close
: together to minimize scraps. Use of a roller
: cutter or cutting the dough into squares
: eliminates or reduces scraps. The scraps can
: be rerolled, but the biscuits may not be as
: tender.
:
: Place on ungreased baking sheets 1/2 inch
: apart for crusty biscuits, just touching for
: softer biscuits. Repeat, using remaining
: dough.
:
: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, or until
: golden brown. (See Exhibit V in the color
: insert.)
:
: Biscuits may be held 2-3 hours in the
: refrigerator until time to bake.
